Greg Soaper of Fullerton, CA
"Sleighs can park in transient parking at the base of the tower, reindeer are not allowed to graze along taxiways, noise abatement on take-off is in effect until kids awake at 6am sharp — you have information, Xmas."
Ed. Note: While we may be putting some distance between the present and the holiday season, this pic from a few weeks back was too much fun to skip over!

Fisk is the VFR arrival point for GA aircraft landing at OSH during AirVenture. Temporary FAA air traffic controllers at Fisk will tell pilots arriving from Ripon which transition to fly towards OSH. Controller instructions will be, say, "Follow the railroad tracks northeast" or, "Reaching Fisk, turn right and follow Fisk Avenue."

"Objects Are Closer than They Appear"?!
Tom Heagy Jr. of Lawrenceville, GA
I hope those mountains are farther away than they appear.

Photo taken with a Panasonic DMC-FZ8 and cropped. No other editing.
